Looks like the little gill net pup knew exactly what to do when he stopped and posed for the “paparazzi” before he took his stroll down the sand carpet to the sea. He was doing his part to make people aware of his own personal plastic pollution suffering. Well done little guy, well done team!

honestly I think he just was irritated for a while because the cameraman was standing in the way to reach the ocean, anyway it was a good scene for the camera and helpfull to cause awareness

I know that those beautiful creatures can't say thank you, but I can. From my entire heart, thank you all for what you do.

Good to see that traditional media is spreading the word and showing the good work done. Keep at it.

This brings a tear to my eyes watching that little pup suffering with that gill net so over grown. Thank you OCN for having the skills to get it out after being in there for so long! The little guy just hung out because it felt so much better.

Unfortunately there are enough entangled seals at Pelican Point to provide plenty of footage for Dirk Steffens' documentary on plastic pollution.😥 Thanks for rescuing these 2 seals!❤

Please let the ads play through to help OCN fund more rescues, Thanks!

The first pup waited so patiently for all the lines to be cut❤️. And, before he ran of to the water, he took his moment to strike a pose in front of the camera 🦭 🎥😍

I'm sure Dirk Steffens' documentary, showing you freeing seals from their entanglements, will help to raise awareness for the plastic crisis. Hopefully it will also get OCN even more followers on social media, you guys so deserve it!❤️

I agree Carla. I believe Dirk is quite famous in Germany and having him alongside OCN for these rescues will bring so much awareness about marine pollution and the greater impact it has on our oceans and wildlife.

I hope the documentary is seen by millions of people. Everyone needs to see it. Everyone needs to see the effects of careless commercial fishing.

I think spending your life saving the lives of animals is the most altruistic activity that can be done to save the world. Many blessings, my friends and fellow travelers. You have our 💜 💙 💚 ❤️ 😂

it is always cute when they leave slow and relaxed and a bit confused 😊

Thank you my heroes for saving them ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏻

You guys are getting famous. You now have TV crews and conservationists following your work.

Wow! So even with all your help, there is still 85,000 needing more help.😥😥😥

I think the little guy loves being on video 😊

More spotlight on our OCN crew from Dirk Steffens. We enjoy all attention you get OCN! Great teamwork and nice catch Wally.

Yes! Thank you!

I totally agree with the first 8 comments said. The seals are so relaxed before (sometimes) and afterwards. The first seal wanted to make sure he had the camera time and fame given. Thank you Dirk Steffens. It would be GREAT if the TV program aired in the United States. Thank you OCN team - Wally, Tony, Naude and Kat.

The documentary will show how the OCN TEAM executes their rescues with "surgical precision" - - very effective and professional field work !!!

It's cool to hear German spoken here! Namibia was Deutsch-Sudwestafrika 100 years ago, so there are some German speakers there as well as Afrikaans and English. Ist sehr gut fur mich hoeren!

Always happy to see OCN getting exposure. 🧜🏽‍♀💜🦭

Thank you all for being there for these beautiful souls.

There is only one way I start my day and that is to watch OCN before doing anything.

Hello again Dirk and team. Thank you for working alongside OCN with these rescues. Hopefully your documentary will make people more aware of how they use and dispose of plastic. Bring more attention to just how fragile the natural world is and how our rubbish affects every living thing on this planet. Seeing these beautiful, vulnerable seals entangled in fishing gear might hit the spot. Who would want to deliberately hurt those cuties?! Thank you Naude, Katja and the OCN Team for everything you do. ☮️❤️🦘🇦🇺

Спасибо большое за помощь!! Вы самые лучшие ребята ❤❤

Ich habe Naude noch nie Deutsch sprechen hören, fällt mir dabei auf, obwohl mir theoretisch klar war, dass er es beherrschen müsste! Na sowas! 😊 Und Dirk Steffens verhilft OCN zu einem größeren Wirkungskreis - die beste Nachricht des Tages! 😃👍 Go, OCN!! 👏

Thank you for the saves and education. I truly appreciate the help you give the little pups. The first one looked back acting like he wanted to hang out with you guys. 😊

I love how the first one was, why should I leave? my neck feels a whole lot better, and I haven't been eaten. Guess the giant bipeds are friends.

I'm glad you know that the animals will not be saved unless we educate the humans and make real changes.

I love when the puppers chill with you after🤗 Thank you all🙏❤

Thank you, Dirk Steffens and your team for helping raise awareness to the terrible ocean pollution and what it is doing to our beautiful wildlife, not just seals but other species as well. Thank you OCN for your never ending commitment to saving the seals. Love from Jeremy Downunder

Aww, that puppy was so patient and the perfect role model for a photo shoot. 🥰

The group dynamic is always so different when Naude is not there, always so much better.

Tellement triste de voir ces animaux en détresse à cause de l'homme....un grand bravo à vous tous pour cette aide précieuse. Beaucoup d'animaux sauvés grâce à vous... merci pour eux 😍💪💪💪

That's a great rescue in any language!

❤Team OCN .. thank you Katt, this campaign is sooo important 👍😎✊

Great job team OCN. Thank you for saving the seals. 🙏👍👍👍👍

A hands-on experience for Dirk Steffens working with the best team, something to talk about. Trash and its impact on our health and the well being of wildlife, lands, rivers and oceans should be taught in every school around the world.

Привет из Казахстана. У нас тюлени не водятся, вам спасибо за титанический труд

The guy with the yellow coat put a net under the first pup's head @ 1:11 to keep his face out of the sand. What a nice man!

The final bolt to freedom never disappoints!

Danke💖

I think the first pup did get a bit confused with the number of people around him but if it helps RTL spread the word for you then it was worth a few seconds of "which way now?"

That first little guy was happy to be the star of your video as well as to be free of that gillnet... well done!

The best part of these rescues is watching them stick around like "these people are not so bad I could chill for a bit."

Thank you for saving them.

Great to see the media showcasing your work. Well done

Every single one you help is a victory.

Thank you, thank you very much 💓❤️💓❤️💓❤️💓❤️💓

I've decided you all are Dr's of LOVE ❤ love for these sweet critters They are in great need of care from human negligence of waste that is harming them and our oceans Thank you all for your help, kindness and determination to make a change in the lives of these seals and keeping them safer Thank you, THANK YOU, thank you!!! 😊

How wonderful they could be there to help and to document your work.

The first pup was so relaxed. As was the 2nd pup. They knew they were in good hands

Was für ein Fang von Wally! Top!

It's nice to hear german words @OCN. Great job and it's good that Dirk is showing this to the german public TV.

تستهلون أكثر من الأولوف من الليك 👍👍👍😊

Good day. He was happy afterwards. Word gets around, seals talk.😂

I am so glad that this Project is starting to get this increased visibility and attention. Hope fully that will translate into more support, and perhaps greater international action. Well done Team, as always!!

Until I found OCN, I had absolutely no idea how bad the problem was!!!! Thank you OCN for making me more aware!!!! And those seals are sooooo cute!!! ❤ I just love their noises when they're fussing!!! Stay safe all of you!!! 💕💖💓💕

That was fantastic! Some seals look like they are in shock when released and don't know which way to run!

These poor seals. Ugh, the damage humans have done to wildlife. Thank goodness we have a few humans who fix our mistakes.

Thank you for all that you do guys. Giving these lovely creatures a second chance. Skip the fish folks.

Bravi, sembrano volervi ringraziare.

Great saves. And educating others. Again, good way to get the word out on how hard you guys work every day to rescue these seals

With enough rescues in their memories, maybe someday the seals will start lining up for help instead of running away

The 'Teaching' seal was a good little patient! Got a bit dizzy from all the turning, didn't know just where to go! Wish I could be there with all of you for a while. 😊❤

Always a great day when more seals are being cared for, and any netting, lines, or other rubbish is being removed. Great work, and some extra hands learning and helping spread awareness 👍👍

Они такие милые, когда убегают освобожденные - это самый прекрасный момент) Спасибо, ребята! То что вы делаете, это бесценно!

You make the seals happy again

Good behavior seal , good job you have done

Your team has done another great save for wildlife, thank you! It would be nice if the court or government systems would make fisherman help you for a short time, at least. Then rotate these people into community service maybe even explaining how this happens and what needs to happen to stop it. They are the ones who have control over the issue. Could it be that don't fully understand what pain and suffering it causes. Thank you again!

I know that getting other conservationists involved now and then helps with publicity and brings the attention of a wider audience to the problem, but it must be highly stressful for a pup to be surrounded by so many people, and for the rescue to be slowed down more than necessary.

It is an ethical conundrum...how do you give people practical training for the benefit of the seals without compromise. This is why we don't invite volunteers, but at some stage we do need to pass our knowledge and experience on.

Thank you for all you do. 💚💚💚💚.

great job!

Another couple of smooth rescues, Team OCN & guest. That first entanglement was pretty tricky. Also nice to see Katja assisting out in the "field"! Kudos!!

I wish ppl would cut any packing straps up into smaller pieces before they throw them in the bin even if you live inland these things can find their way to the coast not to mention river dwellers I said yrs ago plastic has to be the worst invention. Fishermen whether private or commercial also need to be more mindful of how they discard things it costs nothing to take it home and discard properly I thank you guys for your dedication and service to save as many as you can bless you xxx

ThankGod for these people, their dedication to the individual and their efforts to raise awareness and change things for the better!

The 1st puppy was so calm and cute. What a joy to see this. Good job:)

Pup #1 had a real bad entanglement, such a fine line. Was so sweet when he waited to say 'thanks'. Thanks for helping them.

That film shoul be shown to all CRUISE LINES CREW/STAFF and PASSENGERS! All Fisherman amd container industy. Great Job to teach them 🙏🥰

That first lil guy was lookin around like where'd all yhese hoomans come from, there's more then what i usually see. Lol. He hung around to say thank you it's so adorable when they do that.. ❤

Bless you my heros! GIVE A HOOT! DON'T POLLUTE!

Stopping and posing!!!! How adorable!!!! ❤

Loving the immediate huge smiles all around each time the freed seal gallops away to the sea… ❤

You guys make an old guy cry tears of joy!
